Glad to be of help. Sorry, I don’t know of anything in Illinois. You might try contacting some Illinois apartment associations, especially the state association, if there is one.

Hi,
I have had 2 people tell me that there is a website out there called something like CCAP.com, where you can input prospective tenants names and find out if they have had prior evictions, judgements, etc. Problem is, these people don’t know the exact web address, and I can’t find it. I really need this for Wisconsin and Illinois. Can anyone please help?? Thank you!

Yes, it is called Wisconsin CCAP(Circuit Court Access Program) and it’s located at:
http://ccap.courts.state.wi.us/servlet/us.wi.state.courts.internet.access.GetJSP
It’s very user friendly and extremely helpful, BUT it won’t show all collections or bankruptcies, only items that have actually gone through the county court system and are “public records”, so if you’re using it to check out prospective tenants, I’d still recommend a credit check. It’s excellent for the initial background checks, though.

Thanks! I found the site! Now, I also get a large number of renters from Illinois. I wonder if you know of a similar site for Ill? Thanks again!
